Almost six years after the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways notified the introduction of High Security Registration Number Plates (HSRNP)—touted as one of the best anti-theft systems for vehicles—the ambitious plan will finally set take off in six months.

Starting this November, all new vehicles in the country will have to come equipped with these sophisticated number plates, while in-use vehicles will have to replace their current plates with HSRNPs within two years, said a senior official from the Ministry. It is believed that the measure will help keep a check on vehicle thefts and will allow authorities to track stolen vehicles.

The HSRNP scheme had been on hold with the tender process in several states drawn into litigation over the selection of vendors. All these cases were finally referred to the apex court, which recently directed the Centre to take a decision on implementing the scheme within six months. “We will be writing to all states very shortly to implement the HSRNP scheme,” said a Ministry official.
